When you enter the building, please report to the office where you can either sign yourself in or sign your child out. Please do not be offended by this procedure. This system allows us to closely monitor who is in the building at all times. Morning Arrival There is no supervision available until 7:45 am. No students should arrive before that time. The main doors by the office will be the only doors unlocked to enter the building in the morning. ▪ 7:45 - 8:00 A.M. - Students should report directly to the cafeteria. Students should eat breakfast at this time if they wish to eat at school. ▪ 8:00 A.M. - Elementary school starts- Announcements will begin at 8:05 A.M. ▪ Students arriving after 8:05 A.M. will be considered tardy and should be signed in by an adult in the Elementary Office.

We ask that the adult taking the child come to the office to sign the student out. The student will then be called to the office to meet the adult. A similar process will be followed whenever a student is late. He/she must be brought to the office and signed in. Additionally, whenever a child is not following his/her normal dismissal routine a note must be sent to his/her teacher. Students will not be allowed to ride a bus other than their own without written permission. Please send in a note with each child in the family indicating a change in the go home plan.

    2017 Annual Report 2017 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Every now and then I am introduced to someone who knows, kind of, who I am and what I do and they instinctively ask, ‘‘How are things at Saga?’’ (they pronounce it ‘‘say-gah’’). I am polite and correct their pronunciation (‘‘sah-gah’’) as I am proud of the word and its history. This is usually followed by, ‘‘What is a ‘‘sah-gah?’’ My response is that there are several definitions — a common one from 1857 deems a ‘‘Saga’’ as ‘‘a long, convoluted story.’’ The second one that we prefer is ‘‘an ongoing adventure.’’ That’s what we are. Next they ask, ‘‘What do you do there?’’ (pause, pause). I, too, pause, as by saying my title doesn’t really tell what I do or what Saga does. In essence, I tell them that I am in charge of the wellness of the Company and overseer and polisher of the multiple brands of radio stations that we have. Then comes the question, ‘‘Radio stations are brands?’’ ‘‘Yes,’’ I respond. ‘‘A consistent allusion can become a brand. Each and every one of our radio stations has a created personality that requires ongoing care. That is one of the things that differentiates us from other radio companies.’’ We really care about the identity, ambiance, and mission of each and every station that belongs to Saga. We have radio stations that have been on the air for close to 100 years and we have radio stations that have been created just months ago.

This guide is put together by the IHS Parent Teachers Association (PTA). We hope it will be a useful guide for information pertain- ing to all things IHS, including attendance, courses, student services, activities, specialty programs, community support groups, staff directory and more. Thanks to the many local businesses that have generously sponsored the Guide, we are able to provide this resource to you at no cost. We greatly appreciate their support! The IHS PTA is a volunteer group of parents and caregivers working to advocate for and support our students. There are many ways the PTA supports IHS such as assist- ing with events like Open House, Prep for College Night, the family liaison program, teaching-mini grants for teachers and achievement awards. We also hold several meetings each year and sponsor informative programs that bring people together. One of the main goals of the PTA is to foster communication between school and home while also connecting students and families with community-wide opportuni- ties. In addition to this Guide we maintain a website and listserv, as well as produce The WORD, The Ithaca High School Newsletter that gets mailed home with your student’s report card.
